Dear Arwin,
Thank you for this piece.
It is something which has come in a long long time and which I just love.
Deep introspection is what you have called for.
I have always maintained that there are no \'good\' and \'bad\' politicians.
Only the \'System\' they are in is \'bad\' which makes \'good\' politicians turn
bad or suffocate
and \'bad\' ones to prosper. Putting even bad people along with good people in
a system that is good, reliable and strong, the consistently bad people will
opt out because they will find it difficult to manipulate the \'system\' to
their advantage. This is what we need in Goa and this has been our
(goasuraj\'s) stress point, whether it is Congress, BJP, NCP, UGDP, MGP, GSRP
or whatever. Let the best be chosen to set us free from agitations, dharnas,
protest marches, hunger strikes , bogus price rises where tax payer\'s money is drained on unnecessary things which are not at all required.....et al.
And you have hit the right \'nail\' of the right \'head\'
Combining \'hypocrisy\' with \'catholism\' in which Christianity .... aka
\'following the \'leader\' is totally missing.
I have been harping on this point for a long long time.
In our Constitution, the main page (inside cover) has this quote by Mahatma
K. Gandhi
WE MUST BE THE CHANGE
WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD
And our world has always been revolving around our GOA whether we are in
GOA or elsewhere in Diaspora.

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizens contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizen voters elect good, honest representatives.
GOA urgently needs \'GOOD, HONEST, DISCIPLINED SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE\'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be good, honest n disciplined, or to QUIT.
Only through PPS can such \'good, honest n disciplined system of governance\' be identified and accepted.
PPS GOA =PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY = PEOPLE\'S POWER SYSTEM
for a date in 2012
Display the \'PPS\' sticker on your vehicle today, to reject political madness tomorrow.

We blame politicians who are looting/destroying Goa, its land, environment &
Identity. But with all due respect, let’s first look within to see the major
causes of the same. (1) Who has voted for corrupt MLA\'s (2) Don\'t we
ourselves support corruption & unethical democratic methods; I appreciate
that sometimes we are forced to, but surely this can be avoided in many
cases (3) How many ask illegal favors from Corrupt MLA\'s and then become
their slaves for life; what we do for selfish reasons will ultimately
destroy ALL of us. Also, what we do illegally will come back to haunts us,
in some form or the other (4) How many of us Glorify various Corrupt
Politicians at various events in Goa/Overseas for obvious reasons; knowing
that they are the biggest destructors of Goa & our Identity; even if do
invite them, how many do let these politicians know, of the our concerns on
Goa (5) Taking the Catholic perspective (it is the same for other
religions), we pray, fast, try to portray ourselves as good Catholics, try
to teach our children right from wrong etc and then in hypocrisy, our actual
thinking/actions does the opposite and we set bad examples; aren’t we
supposed to show by example? Granted many Goans are handicapped by
illegalities in the past and Corrupt Politicians use these, as points to
intimidate/checkmate genuine concerns for Goa; point is that tomorrow can be
a New Beginning and we can change; first ourselves and then everything else
will follow. We could have made mistakes in the past but we can always
stop/avoid this going forward and help Goa/Goans go for the better!! The
Answer is obvious and the choice/decision is finally with each one of us!!
